    Ayers has created a wonderful story that focuses on how humanity can be filled with both love and hatred at the same time. In reading the story, it reminded me how contradictory the human race can be, with some individuals offering The Grotesque such kindness and others causing nothing but pain. "In the Wings of Butterflies" is a beautiful relooking at classic stories and fairy tales, brutally looking at the human nature that lies within them.
